3675.0. "RMON manager community name <=15 char?" by RDMCS3::STUART (Scott Stuart - NPB SE - 410.315.9954) Tue Jul 02 1996 13:40

    I have a few questions about clearVISN components:
    
     RMON  manager
    1)  It looks like it will only take a 15 character community
    string, either read-only or read/write.  This is a problem as my
    customter (DuPont) has set up write community strings to be >15
    characters.  I belive that SNMP allows for up to 32 characaters.
    
    Is this a know problem and what is the solution?
    
    2) In order to use RMON manager for a DECswitch do I have to give the
    switch it's own IP address or is there a way to get to it via the hub
    manager using RMON manager?
    
    Recovery Mgr
    3) Does it backup/restore VLAN information or do I need
    to do that via VLAN manager?
    
    
    thanks

Recovery Manager will backup and restore only the switch parameters,
and the LAN Interconnect params.  The VLAN info is already stored in
the VLAN Manager database.

So, on a restore operation, first restore your LAN Interconnect,
then the Switch settings.  Then run VLAN manager to reload the vlan.
